Running towards the party I suddenly feel a little hazed my heart feels like it is going to explode! Unaware of my surrounding I bump into a wall. As I'm about to fall, I'm caught by large hands wrapping around me stopping me from hitting the ground.
Worried eyes looking back at me. "Aurora are you alright?" Peter says worryingly.
"I'm fine. Sorry I just got a little bit distracted that's all"
"OK well I'll go get us a drink what would you like" he asks letting me go.
"Something strong. And make it two I think I'm going to need it" Peter nods and walks in the direction of the bar.
I look around to see everyone chatting half of the teenagers look absolutely drunk. More than a few of unfamiliar faces from our alliance packs. I see a group of friends that i havent seen in a while who were by the huge bonfire in the center of the party.
"Happy birthday girl!" Mel said cheerfully
"Happy birthday rory, we have missed you these days! Amy said pulling me into a tight hug.
"Happy birthday babe. We thought you forgot about us." Skyler spoke handing me a much needed scotch on the rocks.
"Thanks girls, I have missed yous so much! All I've been doing is working, you know the drill but I'll be back to school on Monday so we can catch up everyday and yous can fill me in on all the s**t I've missed."
"For once you've missed out on a bit-" skye jumps in cutting mel off.
"Yeah. The midnight terror pack are now attending woodhill high with us."
"What the f**k. Since when, why was I not informed. & why the hell are they even in our territory when they are literally the next pack over. I know we are allies but I won't have them disrespecting anyone on our turf!"
"Woah Woah, alpha calm down. Cameron handled it while you were doing everything else.. apparently the alphas son and his mates burnt their school down for fun." Amy says.
"God so alpha Liams son is just as bad as him." I say rolling my eyes.
"Wait till you meet him and his slut of a girl friend." Skype hisses
"Oh goddess. It's going to be a long night, Pete the i***t was meant to get me a drink but he's obviously forgotten and found something more important. Looks like im getting my own. I say
"Will come with! All three of them reply.
We make our way over when I suddenly feel myself becoming unsteady again. I stop in my tracks staring at the crowd in front of me.
Mila is my wolf who hasn't spoken since the death of our parents. And I wish she didn't after she said what she just said.
"Mate. Mate is here. Find our mate."
I ran to the bar and ordered six tequila shots to drown my wolf out.
"Seriously you don't talk to me for almost four months and you come out with this s**t.
I needed you, but you were no where to be found. I'm not looking for him like some pathetic shewolf. He can find us." I mind linked her.
She growls at me. "Please Aurora I'm sorry. We need to find mate something is not right."
"Uggh. Fine. Don't cry and leave if your dissapointed." I sigh.
She obviously doesn't hear a word after fine as I can hear her howling in excitement.
I down three more shots before proceeding to the other side of the bonfire where I see Alpha Liam and Luna Mary. FeEling a little typsy I make my way over.
"Alpha. Luna. I bow. And they do the same.
"How is your night going dear. You look like your having a good time." Mary spoke
"On the contrary Luna. Quite the opposite, my mate is here but is no where to be see-" I was cut off by the smell of the ocean and a musky pine smell. Two very different smells but smelt so delicious. I needed it. I was on edge.
"Mm what's that smell." I say looking around
"Looks like your mate is close go find him." Liam says with a grin on his face.
With that I waved goodbye and hurried back to the bar where I see my friends still there having shots the scent is still strong as I approached them.
"Guys, who was just here."
"Uh a lot of people from the terror pack came to get drinks." Why what's up Amy says handing me a shot.
"f**k my life. My mate is a f*****g terror than. Great." DownING two more shots.
We sit at the bar catching up for half an hour before that smell hit me again I turn to see a tall well built guy looks the same age as me with black hair, wearing black ripped jeans. And a tight white tee with a leather jacket. As our eyes meet we stare at each other while my wolf screams mate mate. I know he can feel it to and is trying to tear our gaze but we can't.
Until someone steps in front of him. Not someone a f*****g shewolf. He smirks at me and grabs the girls hips pulling her into a kiss but not breaking his eye contact with me. He grabs her ass.
The girls are looking at me worried. Hey aurora what's wrong. I don't know who said it because I was trying to calm myself down from ripping my mate and that shewolf apart.
"Wh-who's the couple making out by the tree." I sound like I couldn't breathe properly.
"That's alpha Liams son. Whats up." Mel placed her hand on mine while I drank morè with the other.
"Mate" Is all I said before they all gasped and looked at me shocked.
What's his full name I continued. Skye and Amy shut up knowing damn well what I was about to do.
Mel on the other hand Is the innocent one of the group. She spoke up before they told her to shut up.
"Damon Sabella"
I threw my glass at the wall gaining everyone's unwanted attention before making my way over to my sorry ass of a mate. My eyes flicking from silver to blue. He stares at me in shock probably not seeing anyones eyes ever go blue.
Suddenly Peter and elliot are by myside trying to stop me. Elliot holds my hand while Peter steps in front of me stroking my cheek trying to calm me down. Whispering soothing things in my ear and it was working until a growl interrupts us and a sudden "mine" leaves his lips. I blink and Peter is being ripped off me and on the ground with the guys claws elongated.
In a split second I find myself holding his shewolf by the neck my eyes electric blue.
"You touch my beta and I will kill your mate here. Our alliance will be over and war will start right now." My voice boomed.
Mary and Liam running towards us. Liam froze seeing the situation.
"Damon. Let him go." He commanded in his alpha voice, worry plastreed on his face.
"I-I I can't he touched my mate. MINE. his eyes were pitch black trying to search for my non existent soul. Alpha Liam was about to say something before I cut him off.
"I will not tell you again. Release him or I will reek havoc on everything and everyone you know. This is your last warning I ordered." Digging a claw into the shewolfs throat which caused her to squeal.
He got off Peter rushing towards me I threw his shewolf to the side and jumped over him while he was confused I pinned him to the ground and put my claws to his neck. Mila was hurt she felt betrayed she wanted to kill him and I was trying to control her. I sighed.
"You are not worthy to be my mate. I am not the average alpha as you can see, I don't deserve a mate and neither do you." I say with a bored tone while he squirms under me.
"I aurora Bane reject you Da-" gasps were the only thing heard from around us.
"Wait please stop." He gasped.
"Isn't this what you wanted. To be with your mate." I snarled
"Yes. I do. I want to be with you. You are my mate. I am sorry please give me a chance."
The shewolf growled from behind us. Is he tricking me?
My wolf was purring she wanted him back already.
"Are you shitting me mila. 2 minutes ago you were ready to live alone for the rest of eternity and now your ready to jump his bones." I linked her
"Aurora mate wants us. I will not let you reject him."
Staring at him in disbelief of what my wolf just said.
I notice him staring at me with lust and longing in his eyes.
They were no longer black but dark blue and he had dimples, cute dimples. His face looked like they were sculptured by the goddess herself. I could feel myself losing the battle with my mind against my heart and wolf.
I did what anyone would have done and bolted for the woods I could hear the footsteps of people behind me so I shifted and ran faster than I ever had run before. Slowly the footsteps and scents dissappeared as I sat at the edge of a lake looking into the water I saw a reflection in the water that wasn't mine.
Turning around slowly all I could do was gasp.
